Kitchen Experiment: Crispy Gluten-Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free Waffles

Every Sunday morning when we are home, my husband and I have breakfast together and our favorite thing to eat is waffles. I have been on the search for a fantastic, crispy waffle for a long time and I finally found the recipe. I have made some other great waffle recipes, but this one notContinue reading “Kitchen Experiment: Crispy Gluten-Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free Waffles”

Kitchen Experiments- Gluten Free, Grain Free Gingerbread

It has been awhile since I have shared any of the foods that I have been cooking in my kitchen but ever since I made this recipe, everyone has been asking me to share it. I found this recipe in a cookbook that has been on display in my office for quite some time. ThisContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments- Gluten Free, Grain Free Gingerbread”

Kitchen Experiments – Pancakes anyone?

I must say that being grain free has presented a challenge for breakfast if you are thinking about typical breakfast foods. Most mornings when I am ready for breakfast I end up staring at the refrigerator thinking about what I can eat. Cereal? Out! Rice cake with nut butter? Out! Oatmeal? Out! Oh boy! What elseContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Pancakes anyone?”

Kitchen Experiments – Beans for Dessert?

Flourless Coconut Great Northern Bean Blondies It seems like these days I am continually searching for new recipes and especially things made without flour. Anita and I have been on our low grain and fruit diet now for over a month and we are sick of what we are eating. We keep looking for different ways toContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Beans for Dessert?”

Kitchen Experiments – Buckwheat Pancakes

Good morning! Sundays are my favorite day for many reasons – but most especially because it is the one morning where I get to sleep in and have a slow start to the day. The cooler fall mornings inspire me to cook a larger breakfast and this morning I felt like pancakes! Yes, we areContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Buckwheat Pancakes”

Kitchen Experiments – Buckwheat Applesauce Cake

I had no idea when I started to experiment with recipes for this ALCAT diet how to bake things without eggs. I always imagined that the baked items would not be as light and fluffy as their egg counterparts, but I will admit that I was wrong! This is the third, fourth or fifth time thatContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Buckwheat Applesauce Cake”

Kitchen Experiments – No Bake Nut Butter Cookies

So I was thinking one day about cookies. What kind of cookie could I make on day 3 of my rotation diet when there are no eggs and the grain is millet? Sometimes this Alcat diet presents some very critical problems! Well, somehow I remembered that I had a recipe somewhere for some no-bake cookies, soContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – No Bake Nut Butter Cookies”

Kitchen Experiment – Brown Rice Crispy Treats

When I went to school for my masters in nutrition at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington, I had a great teacher for the class “Cooking with Whole Foods.” It was probably my favorite class out of all the classes that I took because we actually cooked in the class. It was in this class thatContinue reading “Kitchen Experiment – Brown Rice Crispy Treats”

Kitchen Experiments – Pumpkin Pie

Well, maybe calling it a pumpkin pie is a little bit of a stretch. Could we call it a pumpkin crisp since it only had a topping and not a bottom crust? So once again a typical recipe for pumpkin pie/crisp could not be followed since the Alcat diet plan has us following a 4-day rotationContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Pumpkin Pie”

Kitchen Experiments – Nut Butter

I love nuts! I love nut butters! I love how easy it is to make any kind of nut butter using my new Vitamix! With the Alcat diet plan that we have been following now for almost 3 months, it is recommended that you follow a 4 day rotation diet plus eliminate all food intolerances that were found throughContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Nut Butter”
